Into the nights Chapter 39
CardinI spent the rest of that morning in my office, thinking about what I did to Lucy. Ever since I saw her at the club that night, I knew I shouldn't hurt her yet today I bruised her wrist. Being kind isn't my specialty, I'm meant to be the heartless beast that fights and defend it's vampires and the only reason why I overtook Cardin's body is just to find that traitor who tried to hurt us, who tried to stop my existence. But then I had to see that young girl again and I hurt her yet again. Cardin and I are one and that young lady is our soul mate. After hurting her today, I'm considering letting Cardin take over, I can resurface anytime he's in danger or anytime Lucy is in danger.A short knock on the door had me raising my head. On the third tap, the person opened the door although I know who is knocking already.Baron walked in quietly, he assessed my face before sitting down on the empty seat. I glared at him, ready to transfer my frustration to him "I don't remember offering y

CardinAfter my call with the men Baron put in charge of Lucy, my next plan was to go visit the wine factory. I told Baron to give me a summary of what have been going on in the wine factory, starting from our sales increase to our loss for the past three years.Baron looked all serious with his fake medicated glass. He just likes to wear it, claiming that age is longer on his side. He pointed at the line in the chart on the table "So the demand for the wine is at a high rate and we do not have enough space and plant to meet such demand. I brought up the topic of finding a new space to start up another plantation but I guess your former self wasn't so keen on business"I taped my pen lightly on the table while nursing a glass of whiskey "Do you have any land or space in mind?" I asked. Knowing Baron, I know he has already mapped out a land even before bringing this topic to my desk.He removed his glasses and dropped it on the table "I have an eye on that your empty land in Hudson Rive

LucyI'm definitely reporting Jane missing come tomorrow morning. Driving home from work, I contemplated going back to Marco's place but that guy gives me creeps with his perverted mindset.I almost ran into the figure before me that I had to slam my breaks very fast, hitting my head in the steering but not hard enough to knock me off, but hard enough to inflict pain. Who did I just kill in front of my house!? Opening my car, I ran out to inspect the mishap that I caused and I saw Seth on the floor holding his knee.I approached him, my heart beating quickly that I fear it might actually fall off. "Oh my God! Are you okay? I didn't mean to run you over" kneeling down before him, I coaxed him to let go of knee so I can inspect the wound. "Let me see it... Do you think it needs emergency attention?"Shaking his head, he leaned on me "Help me stand up, I don't think I can do it on my own" he winced in pain as I helped him stand. "I was coming to ask if you have screwdriver but I guess I g

CardinI trailed her home not just to make sure that she's safe, but to have a chat with that bastard who lives next to her. I have my men on standby already, just in case he tries to escape or if he tries anything funny. She stopped at a supermarket to pick something and I waited patiently for her to finish her shopping and when she finished, she got into her car and I followed behind.I watched her from a distance as she walked into her house. I gave my men sign to keep watch on her while I pay her neighbor a visit. I didn't bother knocking, I just picked the lock and walked in, knowing that if Seth is really who we think he is, then he should be aware that there is an intruder. I walked into the living room and almost laughed out loud at the setting of the house. Anybody who walks in here will think that they have seen an actual human being who is ready to start a family. I felt his presence even before I saw him standing close to the dining room. His body posture arrogantly calm

LucyI was in the office later that afternoon, when Cardin arrived. The look on his face even though he was trying to mask it told me that something is terribly wrong. I stood up from my seat and met him halfway, with my brows drawn together "Cardin? Is everything okay? What's wrong?"He drew me closer and engulfed me in a tight hug "I'm sorry... I truly am... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this pain baby"I pushed him away slightly so I can get a better look at his face "Cardin... What's going on? You're scaring me... Did something happen back home?"He ran his hand up and down my spine "Everybody back home is fine. It's you I'm worried about" guiding me to the sofa in my office, he sat down with me before grabbing the TV remote control. He switched on the news station and I watched with wide eyes as the news presenter gave me heartbreaking news.Jane Bachor, a twenty seven year old woman who was killed by her boyfriend Marco Nelson. The accused confessed to the crime during ea

CardinYesterday night, when I visited Jane's home to question his boyfriend about what he knows on her whereabouts, I did not expect things to turn out the way it did. Just one look at the man, I knew he was lying. I tried to force the truth from his mouth but he wouldn't budge so I compelled him to tell me the truth which he did. I wanted to kill him that instant but that would leave the death of Jane a complete mystery. Still under my compelling, I told him to go to the cops and confess his crime and surrender himself which he did.The next morning, I went to Lucy's office, knowing that Jane's death should have hit the news by now. I expected to meet her wailing when I got to her office, but she was busy with something else, ignorant to the morning news. When she saw the news, she stared wide eyed, trying to understand what is going on and when the news finally sank in, she cried bitterly, her tears tugging my heart. She demanded that Marco must pay regardless of the fact that he's

CardinI've been busy for these past few days, trying to bring the club back to business. We've also discovered Emily's location and I've sent some men over to keep an eye on her. I speak with Lucy everyday and I heard from her that Jane's funeral rites will be done tomorrow. Even though she didn't request for me to be there, I know I should be there for her."Are you still going for the funeral tomorrow?" Baron asked, his voice ruffled due to the smoke from the cigar which is still in his mouth."I'll be leaving very early tomorrow so I should be there before the officiating priest says few words of prayer for the corpse""I'm going to with you...I just feel I should be there for her too"I don't think I'm comfortable with him coming with me "I can't leave my city that vulnerable. If you leave with me, who will be overseeing the affairs of my people?" Twirling the content of my glass, I voiced my thought "I don't just know how to convince her to come to New York because of all the dan

LucyOpening my eyes, I noticed I wasn't in my room, I remember this room, this is Cardin's room in New York. New York! What the hell am I doing here? How did I even get here? Did he drug me? I shook my head. My head doesn't feel heavy which means I wasn't drugged but then how did I get here?I closed my eyes, trying to remember how I got here. I remember us coming back from Jane's funeral; Baron was in the living room before he left for a bathroom break while Cardin went upstairs to probably answer a business call. I also recall going to check on Seth because I haven't seen him since that day I saw him packing traveling bags in his car trunk.I also remember pressing his door bell without any response. I turned to leave, but then I heard gunshot only for me to feel pain in my stomach. I looked down only to discover that I've been_I sat up abruptly, raising my shirt to look for a bullet wound, it's strange that I'm not feeling any pain but it's damn confusing when I raised my shirt bu
